Pretty Little Liars is a mysterious and suspenseful drama. The show centers around four girlfriends who witness a girl gone missing during a sleepover. The Pretty Little Liars are forced to reunite a year later after receiving text messages from someone who calls themselves “A”.

In this season of Pretty Little Liars, premiering June 14th, we’ll tune in to watch the mystery get even more intriguing. Will they ever find Alison’s body? Will more people get injured in Rosewood as a result of secrets? The cast includes Lucy Hale (Aria), Ashely Benson (Hanna), Troian Bellisario (Spencer) and Shay Mitchell (Emily).

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have superpowers? Characters like Superman on shows like Smallville wouldn’t exist if there were no supperpowers. Throughout the show, Clark Kent develops several superhuman powers, from super-sonic hearing to heat vision. He can do anything from being bullet proof to leaping off tall buildings in a single bound. Each one of them have their advantages, my favorite is his powerful super speed. This power was the first Kryptonian power viewers were introduced to back in Season 1 “Pilot,” when Clark misses his bus but reveals his super speed when he outruns it through a cornfield.

Super speed would make my life so much easier. I would be able to run to the grocery store while cooking at home. I would be able to go to the basement and fold laundry and run upstairs and dust all at the speed of light. This would be an awesome power to have!

The ‘Smallville: The Complete Series’ DVD lets you experience the exciting journey Clark Kent embarks upon to realize his destiny! With over 24 hours of special features and 2 hours of never before seen footage, the complete series on DVD is the ultimate resource for the Smallville fan! http://amzn.to/m4EKiO
